A Course in Miracles is so pure, so great, so potent, and so a lot a lot more spiritually advanced than any other piece of the world’s literature (past and present), that you have to actually expertise it to believe it. But those whose minds are also attached to worldly thoughts, and lack the underlying thirst for accurate spiritual understanding that is required for its understanding, will probably not comprehend a single entire web page. That is not simply because A Course in Miracles is confusing – on the contrary its principles are remarkably easy – but rather because it is the nature of spiritual understanding that those who are not prepared to comprehend it, merely can’t realize it. As stated in the Bible, at the starting of the book of John: “The light shineth in darkness, and darkness comprehended it not”.

Ever considering that I very first became aware of the majestic and awe-inspiring presence of God, I have enjoyed reading a lot of fantastic spiritual operates like the Bible (my favourite components are the Sermon on the Mount and Psalms), the Bhagavad-Gita, the Upanishads, the Koran and the poetry of Kabir and Rumi. None of them come close to the greatness of a Course in Miracles. Reading it with an open mind and heart, your fears and troubles wash away. You turn into conscious of a marvelous love deep within you – deeper than something you knew prior to. The future begins to look so vibrant for you and your loved ones. You really feel enjoy for everyone including those you previously have tried to leave excluded. These experiences are extremely effective and at occasions throw you off balance a little, but it is worth it: A Course in Miracles introduces you to a really like so peaceful, so powerful and so universal – you will wonder how so a lot of of the world’s religions, whose aim is supposedly a comparable knowledge, got so off track.

I would like to say here to any Christian who feels that his church’s teachings do not really satisfy his thirst to know a sort, merciful and loving God, but is somewhat afraid to study the Course simply because of others’ claims that it is inconsistent with “true” Christianity: Never be concerned! acim have read the gospels a lot of instances and I assure you that a Course in Miracles is fully constant with Jesus’ teachings even though he was on earth. Do not fear the fanatical defenders of exclusionist dogma – these poor people believe themselves to be the only carriers of Jesus’ message, and the only ones worthy of his blessings, whilst all other will go to hell. A Course in Miracles reflects Jesus’ true message: unconditional love for *all people*. Even though he was on earth, Jesus said to judge a tree by its fruit. So give it a try and see how the fruits that ripen in your life taste. If they taste undesirable, you can abandon A Course in Miracles. But if they taste as sweet as mine do, and the millions of other correct seekers who have located A Course in Miracles to be absolutely nothing less than a heavenly treasure, then congratulations – and could your heart always be abundantly filled with peaceful, loving joy.
